Keyword localization digital image search techniques are described. These techniques support an ability to indicate “where” a corresponding keyword is to be expressed with respect to a layout in a respective digital image resulting from a search query. The search query may also include an indication of a size of the keyword as expressed in the digital image, a number of instances of the keyword, and so forth. Additionally, the techniques and systems as described herein support real time search through use of keyword signatures.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method as described in claim 1, wherein the indication is generated through user selection of the at least one predefined portion of the plurality of predefined portions as displayed in a user interface.
3. The method as described in claim 2, wherein the plurality of predefined portions are arranged, one to another, as a grid forming the spatial layout.
5. The method as described in claim 1, wherein the keyword is a semantic keyword or a name of an object.
6. The method as described in claim 1, wherein the plurality of keyword signatures includes, respectively, an indication of a size of an area within the respective said digital image that corresponds to the respective keyword.
7. The method as described in claim 6, wherein the size is indicated as an amount of the digital image that corresponds to the respective keyword.
8. The method as described in claim 6, wherein the search query indicates a size through user selection of a number of the plurality of predefined portions via a user interface.
9. The method as described in claim 1, wherein the plurality of keyword signatures includes, respectively, an indication of a number of instances of the respective keyword within the respective said digital image.
10. The method as described in claim 1, wherein the plurality of keyword signatures indicates which of the plurality of predefined portions of the respective said digital image corresponds to a respective keyword of the plurality of keywords using a location score.
11. The method as described in claim 10, wherein the location score includes an activation for each predefined portion of the plurality of predefined portions indicating an amount the predefined portion corresponds to the respective keyword.
13. The computing device as described in claim 12, wherein the indication is generated through user selection of the at least one predefined portion of the plurality of predefined portions as displayed in a user interface.
14. The computing device as described in claim 13, wherein the plurality of predefined portions are arranged, one to another, as a grid forming the spatial layout.
16. The computing device as described in claim 12, wherein the keyword is a semantic keyword or a name of an object.
17. The computing device as described in claim 12, wherein the plurality of keyword signatures includes, respectively, an indication of a size of an area within the respective said digital image that corresponds to the respective keyword.
18. The computing device as described in claim 12, wherein the plurality of keyword signatures includes, respectively, an indication of a number of instances of the respective keyword within the respective said digital image.
19. The computing device as described in claim 12, wherein the plurality of keyword signatures indicates which of the plurality of predefined portions of the respective said digital image corresponds to a respective keyword of the plurality of keywords using a location score, the location score includes an activation for each predefined portion of the plurality of predefined portions indicating an amount the predefined portion corresponds to the respective keyword.
